[Intro]
| D | D | D | D | x2
[Verse 1]
D Bm [tab]A Gsus2 A course of grace and havoc G Gsus2 On a yellow skateboard D Thru midday sidewalk traffic D Bm Just when I think he's foolish and childish A Gsus2 And I want him to be manly G Gsus2 I catch my fool and my child D Needing love and understanding
[Verse 2]
Gsus2 G What a strange strange boy Gsus2 G He still lives with his family C F Even the war and the navy D D C D Couldn't bring him to maturity
[Verse 3]
D Bm He keeps referring back to school days A Gsus2 And clinging to his child G Fidgeting and bullied Gsus2 D His crazy wisdom holding onto something wild D Bm He asked me to be patient A Well I failed Gsus2 "Grow up!" I cried G Gsus2 And as the smoke was clearing he said D "Give me one good reason why"
[Verse 4]
Gsus2 G What a strange strange boy Gsus2 G He sees the cars as sets of waves C F Sequences of mass and space D C D He sees the damage in my face
[Verse 5]
D Bm We got high on travel A Gsus2 And we got drunk on alcohol G Gsus2 D And on love the strongest poison and medicine of all D Bm See how that feeling comes and goes A Gsus2 Like the pull of moon on tides G Now I am surf rising Gsus2 D Now parched ribs of sand at his side
[Verse 6]
Gsus2 G What a strange strange boy Gsus2 G I gave him clothes and jewelry C F I gave him my warm body D C D I gave him power over me
[Verse 7]
D Bm A thousand glass eyes were staring A Gsus2 In a cellar full of antique dolls G I found an old piano Gsus2 D And sweet chords rose up in waxed New England halls D Bm While the boarders were snoring A Gsus2 Under crisp white sheets of curfew G We were newly lovers then Gsus2 D Bm A D We were fire in the stiff blue-haired house rules
